New restaurants and bars opening in London this week

This week, the roof of Olympia has a lot of new openings, Nick Jones unveils his new brasserie and Vagabond arrives in Carnaby.

Wolves of Tokyo, Arriba and Lillie's

Olympia - 2b Emberton Walk, London W14 8FJ

This week sees the latest openings at the revamped Olympia, and there's a lot happening. It all comes from the Incipio Group, who are also behind Pergola. They're bringing three new venues to the top of Olympia, which include Wolves of Tokyo (Japanese izakaya-inspired), Bar Arriba (Mexican-inspired) and Lillies (British produce and English sparkling wines). On top of that, there's also a small food hall. You can expect pretty great views from the rooftop bars.

Opening date: 15 June 2026

Café Clement

Temple - 12 Temple Place, London, United Kingdom WC2R 2NF

The latest opening from Nick Jones, the former Soho House supremo, is the new St Clement hotel in Temple. As well as his boutique, riverside hotel, he's also opening two new restaurants here. This is the first, while Florence Knight's restaurant follows in September. Run by ex-River Cafe chef Danny Bohan, there's a French/Italian/Mediterranean approach to the menu, which ranges from Croque Monsieurs and steak tartare to Comte ravioli and risotto.

Opening date: 18 June 2026

Vagabond

Carnaby - 14-16 Ganton St, Carnaby, London W1F 7BT

The latest Vagabond in London will also be their largest yet, opening in the middle of Carnaby. As with their previous outposts, you can expect the same mix of small plates with about 120 wines available by the glass (thanks to their enomatic-style wine system). This wine bar will also have a sizeable terrace.

Opening date: 18 June 2026
